Madden 2007

[Big Tim]

Accel clock runs down the play clock, and if the game clock is running that goes accel too.

If you have accel clock you wont need to no huddle so much, just in 2 min drill.

It just makes it more realistsic, but if you are not inot that, youre just not into it.

 

[Sanchez]

do you guys use a variety of plays or stick to the tried and true

 

[Dr Crane]

When i bring in variety i run into trouble. I have about 20 preferred plays and then some others that i sometimes go to.

 

[Sanchez]

i use 3 pass plays and about 10 running plays

 

[Eelementary]

I like having a mobile QB, just in case. That way I can scramble for a first down if nothing is on.

I love curls. Very effective plays.

 

[Sanchez]

yea me too.
i use shotgun 5 receivers and 4 of the receivers do curls

 

[Eelementary]

FB Dives are also ruthlessly effective. Most NFL FB's have high break tackle stats, and so you don't even need to sprint.

 

[Sanchez]

i mostly use fb plays when withen 2 yds so not to reduce my rbs yards per run

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah.

TE's also usually make great receivers.

 

[Big Tim]

i use 3 pass plays and about 10 running plays

Im not having a crack here, but if thats all you do are you getting the most out of the game?? Are you learning more about the game or is it just about stats??

I like finishing the season with my receivers between 70 - 30 receptions (ie 70 for WR1, 50 for TE 40-50 for WR2 and 30 for WR3) and my RB to have 1,200 yards and the backup to get at least 600

I average about 19PPG and give up around 16PPG so I get alot out of Madden every year.

I use as much of the playbook as I can, however some plays are just useless and others are used more in the clutch.

 

[Sanchez]

hmm could say that but i tend to go for equality. 4-5 receivers and a te get 3- 4 passes each per game and the running back gets at least 100 yards per game

 

[Big Tim]

I guess I am just getting at the fact that you say you only use 13 offensive plays....

Like I said, I just dont think you are getting the most out of the game.... but if you enjoy it, thats all that matters.

What team do you run with?

 

[Sanchez]

New England this year.
i previously have used NE Denver and St Louis
whats yours

 

[Big Tim]

Skins, Skins and Skins.

I always use the Skins and in the past 2 intsallments (before 07) I have played at keast 10 seasons. Its great fun as the teams barely resemble what they startred.

 

[Godz Illa]

One for the Madden-ing crowd. Using Chicago trailing 24-6 at halftime v Vikings in Minnesota on All-Madden, I won 26-24. My greatest ever comeback. Culpepper was running the ball and carving me up but a little tweak of the D and the Bears took control.

 

[Eelementary]

There's nothing better than that feeling, eh Godz Illa?

I had a similar situation - Super Bowl. It was my Raiders against the Falcons. It was 10-10 in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left, and the Falcons went on like a 90-yard drive. Vick was tearing me apart - I couldn't stop him. But then I got an idea - I decided to switch from a deafult 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense, and used a nickel formation. I told my men to blitz the run - it worked like a charm. Vick rushed, got hit by my MLB Danny Clark, fumbled the ball and got injured. The clock ran down, I received the ball, went on a long drive and scored a TD with Moss to win 16-10. Brilliant.

 

[Sanchez]

i always make sure to use blitz plays when facing roaming qbs.
i also play with imjuries and sim injuries on the highest it can go

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah blitzes are useful.

I just hate it how sometimes guys like Brady, Peyton Manning and Vick will randomly start throwin the freakiest passes - and connecting them! Seriously - in that Super Bowl, he had Clark and Woodson RIGHT in his face and just as they tackled him, he threw a 40-yard pass!

 

[Sanchez]

doh!
i hate giving up a catch deep then being near impossible to catch them even with a highly superior speed rating

 

[Big Tim]

I like giving up the odd big play. Makes the game a little realistic.

To catch a long ball you need to take control... dont let the CPU do it. You can position yourself better and jump at the correct time rather than trying to catch it on the run.
